When Ghana almost made the semi finals did any of the Ghanaians won the APOTY award? So Hakimi that did nothing special at the World cup will win cos .. lol! It is only their goalkeeper that might make the top three. Oshimen is currently the AFCON qualifiers and Seria A highest goal scorer. He is winning it!
Top three
Oshimen, Mahrez, Morroco goalkeeper/Kudus

Damn...I even forgot Ghana's 2010 world cup run.. many people tipped Gyan to win the APOTY.. In the end it was given to Eto'o whose country performed poorly at the world cup but he helped Inter Milan win the treble...

Yes he achieved all that but it does not take away the fact that he's not consistent. What should be taken to mind is that if he can achieve all of this despite his inconsistent showings (I concede the fact that Rogers does not give him a stretch of games) what heights of exploits would he attain if he were a bit more consistent.

And in the Super Eagles Iheanacho and Aribo are a problem as far as tactical set up is concerned.

How many players at Leicester are even consistent? Forget the Leicester won the premier league 8 years ago, they are still very much a mid table club... Consistency isn't something to expect from players at a mid table club...
From all indications, Iheanacho is doing well... When he played at Man City surrounded by world class players, we saw how he performed..
Aribo that you mentioned has mostly been ineffective for Southampton this season, but he was a star at Rangers... Rangers aren't better than Southampton,but the quality of opponents he faced in the Scottish league made Rangers a top team over there...
Like I said some days back (and Thegoodjoe asserted to it), sometimes the quality of a team can affect an individual player's performance.

Imagine of Insigne was still at Napoli now, Nd still playinh selfishly, Osimhen might not have scored this many goals and won't be getting all these accolades...

Kwarrect, in addition to other abilities.
I get what you are implying. So TheGoodJoe apart from long balls what other valuable skill set does Nwakali have?
Reference point is the argument that Osimhen is a well rounded striker than Haaland because he possesses other skills.

So apart from long balls which other APPARENT (make you no go talk skill wey na only you dey see) skills does he possess?

I just noticed that Osimhen is the highest goal scorer among all Africans playing at the big 3. If he wins Seria A and top scorer and Napoli has a good run at the CL, he will have a good shot at APOY. I have analyzed all of his contenders and was as neutral as possible

This is what i call maturity, from the onset you were all violent throwing tantrum here and there but you have to take a back seat and check things out and your opinion change. Wow! You are more matured than some people here who have been dragging ihenacho and nwakali for more than six years.

Nwakali is a brilliant asset when it comes to corner kicks. He possesses a direct threat from it due to his accuracy.

He is also good at free kicks too.

Nwakali has the ability of picking offensive team mates in offensive areas with through balls.

He is also good with short combinative passes.

However, his long balls are his best attributes.

Sometimes life hits hard and you fall off from where you can reach in life. As long as you don't give up and keep pushing on, you can turn things around to achieve much.

Well said sir. I agree with you on this one. One thing lacking in his game before now was a high workrate. I hope he has developed that side of his game. Eventually if he comes good, it will benefit Nigeria.

This was an Nwakali that had fire in his U17 days. He was likened by a commentator to a clone of Lampard and Patrick viera. He was box to box covering every inch of grass. Today that fire is gone. Make una talk to am.

You are more interested in telling a player the fire is gone. I am interested in seeing that the gems in the player can still be polished into gold. The fire can still light up. He just needs to keep pushing. It is not over as long as he believes and keeps working towards achieving it.

Finito.

That was why the last stats TheSuperNerd posted of Kelechi Nwakali drew my interest.

In the previous match, Kelechi Nwakali had 63 touches on the ball. In his last match, he had 109 touches. Which was insane. You can only achieve that by improving your work rate. It shows he is pushing to get more of the ball. His making 17 long passes shows he is pushing to control play more.

So, there is a big sign that he is finding his feet and we might witness something special soon.

He just needs to keep pushing. Kelechi Nwakali is a special talent. He just needs to make it shine more.

This is one of the very few komekn's post I agree with

KC nacho is very inconsistent

YOu guy's forget that his inconsistency made Rorhr drop him from the bronze winning AFCON squad

The guy has been on poor form. If you're as good, even a sentimental coach like rodgers won't have any choice but to play you

Dude is overrated because he is many people's favorite here. Same way people overrate Nwakali. This is someone who can' survive the EPL talk less of the spanish lower division where he is plying his trade. I even saw a post celebratinghim as one of the top 15 players in spanish lowerdivision. Haba!!! Have we come this low? And this is the same person some people are pushing to anchor the midfield of the super eagles

Lollll

I won't tow the path of self-deceit

What reputation ❓

One very good season out of 6 seasons so far the rest have been abysmally poor.

No amount of statistical manipulation is going to make him a top striker.

The key component for quality is CONSISTENCY, which in one regard he has been consistently poor.

You may wish to say because he didn't start games or enough game time. Luckily all the strikers for Leicester in the HERE and NOW are poor including Vardy.

Iheanacho is an inconsistent player. He has a crazy cycle of form.

He can play 5 games and have 9G/A and the next 5 games he will get a 0 G/A. Crazy. Dude is hugely overrated in my book. The talent he has is nowhere near Premier League Status and I’m surprised he is still in that league.

For a striker, he is so inconsistent that he goes non existent in so many games.
